Film Director Jules Dassin

His 1955 film noir masterpiece RIFIFI was re-released last year. It was virtually unseen since its release because Jules Dassin was blacklisted. He met and married Greek actress Melina Mercouri, and went on to collaborate with her in the hit films Never on Sunday and Topkapi, the inspiration for Mission: Impossible. Mercouri is being honored by New York Film forum.
